I got Jen reading Christopher Moore, a man Carl Hiassen thinks is too weird to exist. I highly recommend Lamb: The Gospel according to Biff, Jesus' Childhood Pal.

I'm too deep in quantum theory of rotational and vibrational transitions of polyatomic molecules to deal with anymore quantum in my life right now. On the bright side, I think we nailed the Delta H of chlorocyclohexane tonight. I'm congratulating myself with a bottle of wine since I don't have to work until 10 tomorrow. Wheeeee!
